An unverified report by journalist Ganem Ibrahim says that the sons of the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei — except his successor Mojtaba — were beside his coffin during funeral events in Tehran. The bulletin follows a prior report that three sons attended the eulogy earlier this week; Mojtaba's continued absence adds to speculation about his fate.
The latest unverified report, from journalist Ganem Ibrahim via Telegram, states that the sons of the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei — except his successor Mojtaba — were seen beside his coffin during funeral events in Tehran this morning. The bulletin, published at 10:00 Jerusalem, marks the latest addition to a growing body of reports that have consistently noted Mojtaba Khamenei's absence from public funerary events.
Earlier today, at 08:28 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that three of Khamenei's four sons — Mostafa, Masoud, and Meysam — attended the eulogy ceremony, according to the Abu Ali Express channel. That report also noted Mojtaba's absence. At the same time, a separate report from Ganem Ibrahim indicated that the sons were near the coffin, again excluding Mojtaba. The 09:52 Jerusalem bulletin from The Zioneer reiterated the same claim. All reports remain unverified, sourced from independent channels and journalists without official Iranian confirmation.
As The Zioneer has previously reported, Mojtaba Khamenei has been the subject of numerous unconfirmed claims since the airstrike that killed his father in March — including allegations of death, abduction, injury, and being barred from attending the funeral over security concerns. His continued absence from public mourning events adds weight to the speculation, though no official source has addressed his status.
The claim remains unverified: it is based on a desk-reviewed report by a journalist, with no corroboration from Iranian state media or government channels. The identity of the sons seen at the coffin has not been specified beyond the exclusion of Mojtaba.
